Instructions

Gather Ingredients: Assemble all the ingredients including rolled oats, pumpkin puree, almond milk, maple syrup, chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and crushed pecans to ensure everything is ready for preparation.
Mix the Base: In a medium-sized bowl, combine rolled oats, pumpkin puree, almond milk, maple syrup, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed to create a consistent oat mixture.
Adjust Flavors: Taste the mixture and, if desired, add extra pumpkin puree or spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg to intensify the pumpkin pie flavor according to your preference.
Refrigerate Overnight: Transfer the mixture into serving jars or bowls, cover them, and refrigerate for at least 4 to 6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors, softening to the ideal texture.
Serve and Enjoy: Before serving, stir the overnight oats gently and top with crushed pecans for added crunch and nutty flavor. Enjoy this wholesome and flavorful breakfast cold straight from the fridge.
